Comparative effectiveness of robot-assisted radical cystectomy with intracorporeal urinary diversion vs open radical cystectomy for bladder cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To assess the comparative effectiveness of robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD) vs open radical cystectomy (ORC) for bladder cancer (BC).

Patients and methods

We conducted a real-life monocentric study including all consecutive patients who underwent RARC with ICUD or ORC for BC at our institution from 2014 to 2023. Uni- and multivariable logistic and Cox regression analyses were used to compare perioperative, oncological and stricture outcomes between both groups by calculating odds (ORs) and hazard (HRs) ratios with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs), respectively.

Results

Overall, 316 patients underwent either RARC with ICUD (n = 228 [72.2%]) or ORC (n = 88 [27.8%]). The perioperative benef
